Some fast-readable page about Free Pascal (and Lazarus the free pascal IDE):
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Overview_of_Free_Pascal_and_Lazarus

I do not use Pascal anymore but it was my very first programming language,
I'd rather not tell the year :-].

So even if Ohloh seems to say that CMake language is more active than Pascal
https://www.ohloh.net/languages/compare?measure=commits&percent=true&l0=pascal&l1=cmake&l3=-1&commit=Update

would be nice to have Pascal support in CMake :-)
